Tis the season of harvesting yuzu, Kochi’s favorite citrus fruit!
Have you tasted the complex aromatic, floral, tart, and slightly bitter yuzu? If not, imagine a hybrid of a lemon, grapefruit and mandarin orange!
Kochi is the largest producer of this knobbly, lemon look-alike in Japan, which has been used in a variety of ways for over 1000 years. From condiments like yuzu ponzu (a vinaigrette-like sauce) and yuzukosho (a spicy, peppery paste), to beverages and even body lotions, every household in Kochi has at least one yuzu-related product
Yuzu also has an array of health benefits, so much so that it was originally brought over from China as a medicine, believed to prevent colds. Indeed, studies have shown that yuzu can help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, boost immunity, and more
As the days get shorter with the oncoming winter, adding yuzu to your diet might just help you brave the cold! Plus, your meals will benefit from an irresistible burst of flavor and color
